Allawi complained in an interview today about the Maliki government’s lack of movement on the “partnership agreement,” and pointed out that he can’t be the chairman, a position which was invented entirely to give the illusion his Sunni dominated bloc had a role in the government, of a council which still doesn’t exist.

Trying to co-opt the protest movement with the pro-American guy? I guess they figure if they try the same thing again and again, it's bound to work at some point, right? A blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then, doesn't it? Or is it more Einsteinian, that old definition of insanity maybe?
Where's good ole Uncle NED when you need him?
